As the sun rises up on Friday, millions of people around the world will be lining up to get their hands on the iPhone 6. It is expected to be the best iPhone that Apple has ever created. Some say it is neck and neck with Samsung’s smartphones, though some are saying it is actually better. While a lot of Lipscomb students wish they could purchase the newest iPhone, the majority are waiting until the newness dies down. “I’m always a step behind,” Lipscomb senior Jessica Smotherman said. “I just got the 5S a couple months ago. I’ll let people get over the hype and check it out when it’s cheaper.” For now, Apple’s eighth mobile operating system, iOS 8, is holding everyone over until the price of the iPhone 6 comes down or until students can save up enough for it. “Well, I don’t have a ton of thoughts on the new iPhone because I wasn’t able to watch the keynote.” Lipscomb senior Ahnna Reyes said. “But honestly, though it’s undoubtedly going to be amazing, I’m really content with my 5C and the new iOS 8.” The majority people have ditched their Blackberries and flip phones for smartphones.

Watson, the incumbent SGA vice president, touched on his previous experience with SGA, as well what he hopes to implement if elected president. “I think that experience is something that I have, and that is very valuable, especially for the president position,” Watson said. “I think that leading an organization requires you to be knowledgeable about it, be knowledgeable about its functions and about its responsibilities. “I’ve learned a lot this year as vice president, so I definitely think I would be able to hit the ground running this summer.” Watson says he hopes to use the role to be a servant for the Lipscomb community. “I think that the president role should be a means of service, and I believe that I will do a great job serving the student body,” Watson said. “I’m not doing this for the title. I’m not doing this because it will look good on a resume. I’m doing this because I truly believe I could serve the student body in this role.” Cao, who served as an active SGA member for the first time this semester, also expressed the plans he has for his potential presidency, along with why he...
